A Methodology for Assessing the Sustainability of Hydrogen Production from Solid Fuels

Gnanapragasam, Nirmal V.; Reddy, Bale V.; Rosen, Marc A. - In: Sustainability 2 (2010) 6, pp. 1472-1491

A methodology for assessing the sustainability of hydrogen production using solid fuels is introduced, in which three sustainability dimensions (ecological, sociological and technological) are considered along with ten indicators for each dimension. Values for each indicator are assigned on a...

Policies to Facilitate Conversion of Millions of Acres to the Production of Biofuel Feedstock

Epplin, Francis M.; Haque, Mohua - In: Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics 43 (2011) 03

First-generation grain ethanol biofuel has affected the historical excess capacity problem in U.S. agriculture. Second-generation cellulosic ethanol biofuel has had difficulty achieving cost-competitiveness. Third-generation drop-in biofuels are under development. If lignocellulosic biomass from...
